Artemis

My favorite subject in school besides art is mythology; I've loved it ever since I can remember. I selected Diana (Artemis) as the theme for my piece because not only was she the goddess of the hunt and moon, she could control animals, which is something I wish I could do, too. I thought that the symbols that represent her would make an interesting collage. I used gold foil on her pupils to give her a goddess-like stare. I drew the rose behind her ear using a digital pad and stylus which took 8 hours. I was pleased at how photo-real it looked when I printed it this small on watercolor paper. The words around the outside frame came from a famous book of mythology which is my favorite, and because I'm 5'11", I particularly liked the quote: "...she was taller than the rest, and overtopped them by a head." Her crossed hands convey powerful tension, and I like the red tones of the model juxtaposed with the green leaf collage. Overall, I just really had fun making this piece.
